Freelance

Christopher — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:54:44 +0000

I’ve started doing freelance work. At the beginning of the year I was helping a company get their feet wet with Plone. A lot of work and I learned a lot. I’ve set up a website for a an author who has a book coming out. I’m looking for other opportunities. Plone is a long term project and really requires me to be part of a team, but for solo projects I’m very good at helping people set up WordPress websites. It’s good for small websites with a small number of users and there are many many skins available that can be easily customized to meet the needs of a client. I’m also familiar with Django, but still have much to learn about it.

I’m a firm believer in content management systems. It allows non-technical people the ability to manage their own websites. Plone is by far the one of the best open source CMSs available. It can take time to set up one but if you have a lot of information to manage and a fair number of end users, it’s the way to go.

Made a post and it didn’t save or post from my iPhone. Not going to rewrite it. Argh!

Wrote a few notes about PyCon 2009. It was great. Too disheartened to reconstruct.

Last one for now. I’ve installed wptouch so the site is optimized for iPhones.

Now that I’ve upgraded my blog to WordPress 2.7.1 I can use the iPhone WordPress app. And I’m using it to make this post. So there.

Not Dead Yet

It’s been a while since I updated this blog. Just a quick note that I am settled in Tucson now and working at home. And I’m using Python. Woot. I’ll have more to say later.
